Triumphantly unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore thanks to its performance, stunning looks and modest price. Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine-cradling front sub-frame, the E-type's combination of all-round independent suspension resulted in excellent road-holding and handling capabilities. Introduced in 1968, the Series Two cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7. 5 seconds. The range expanded with a 2+2 derivative joining the Coupe and Roadster and evolved through steady stages until the final Series 3 V12s bowed out in 1975.
Offered from a deceased estate and in need of recommissioning following a period of storage, 'KRC 14' has been in the late owner’s possession since 1978 with only 2 former keepers prior to his ownership. Frequently during this ownership, the car attended numerous shows and events up until 2018. One of just 1, 040 righthand drive home-market examples, it displays matching chassis and engine numbers and registers a credible 80, 500 miles on the odometer. Originally supplied by Henlys and first registered on 1 April 1970, information about the car on XKEdata. com records it as previously being restored to concours condition. Finished in Old English White with black interior this manual gearbox example, is offered with a collection of spares including a fuel tank said to be in good order. Offered with JDHT certificate, old MOT certificates and a laminated document with details on the history, a new V5c will need to be applied for by the new owner.
